Resumen
Incorporating obstacle information into maneuvering target-tracking algorithms may lead to a better performance when the target when the target maneuver is caused by avoiding collision with obstacles. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-logic-based method incorporating new obstacle information into the interacting multiple-model (IMM) algorithm (FOIA-MM). We use convex polygons to describe the obstacles and then extract the distance from and the field angle of these obstacle convex polygons to the predicted target position as obstacle information. This information is fed to two fuzzy logic inference systems; one system outputs the model weights to their probabilities, the other yields the expected sojourn time of the models for the transition probability matrix assignment. Finally, simulation experiments and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle experiment are carried out to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
